John - I had some sort of black adhesive or caulk that was used to 
bandage a worn windshield rubber seal on my GT6.  I cleaned it all off 
with WD40.  I first used a trim tool like the one on the left in the 
picture at 
https://www.harborfreight.com/trim-and-molding-tool-set-5-piece-64126.html 
to remove most of it.  I then used the WD40 with blue paper towel style 
shop towels to further clean away the remainder of the gunk.

The stuff I had to remove probably wasn't as good or difficult as your 
3M adhesive, but it wouldn't hurt to try WD40.  I was very happy to get 
the gunk off the paint without damage.
